ARENSDORF ON THE STAND.
He Denies the Evidence Against Him and
Says He Was Not Present at the Murder.

Sioux CITY, Ia, April John Fitzsimmons,
who testified for the State, last week, that the
man he saw shoot Haddock ran in the direction
Of the bridge, again appeared on the stand this
morning, and swore for the defense that he was
formerly mistaken concerning that point. He
now thinks the man who did the shooting ran in
northerly direction. He did not believe the
assassin was John Arensdorf
In the afternoon, John Arensdorf. the defend
ant, took the stand and testified substantially as
follows: have been engaged in the brewing
business two years, and during the month of
August. 1886. was foreman for Franz Brothers.
On August the Sd came down town between
and in the evening; stayed at Philip Eberle's
place till $50; met Barnes and Dave Laaer and
went with the former to Sheppard's, across the
street. It was after 10 when we left there,
Barnes went west, and went to the Chicago
saloon and then to Junk's saloon Scotland and
Grady were there when 1 arrived. I went next
to the English Kitchen and heard there that a
man was killed. Went to the place of
murder, remained a few minutes. and then went
to the brewery; returned to Junk's where re-
manned ten fifteen minutes, and then went
home. wore my usual clothing. blue suit and
tail-coat; did not have on rubber coat. Have
heard the testimony of Leavitt. / was not at
the corner of Fourth and Water streets when
Haddock was killed. / was at the meeting on
the I'd of August 1t was not private meeting
to my knowledge. Nothing was said in my
presence about doing up anyone.
The witness then made detailed denial Of
movements and language attributed to him in
the testimony of Leavitt and Mrs. Leavitt He
had conversed with Leavitt at the latters thea
ter but had not discussed the killing of Had
dock. The witness knew Bismarck and wife,
but denied the truth of an important part of
their testimony relating to him. He knew of
no conspiracy to injure any one, and had no idea
where Haddock was that night
When rossexamined by the State the wit
nesss testimony was characterized by sweeping
denials of all damaging testimony relating to
him given by other witnesses. He saw Treiber
at Junks the night of the murder but did
not remember seeing Munchrath. He did no,
see Henry Peters at Junk's; saw him several
weeks after the murder, but knew nothing about
where he went. He denied receiving any letter
from Treiber had talked with Mrs. Treiber
about her husband, but had written the latter
no letter. The witness met Mrs. Bismarck on
the business matter referred to in her testimony
but had never told the sheriff, OF any other Off
Ger. that the wife of the suspected man had
gone away. He did not think it any of his bus
mess. He did not know what he testified to be
fore the coroner's jury, and thought his recnllec
ton then was not as good as IL Was now. Thes,

party. During political excitements it
is the practice of the gentleman from
Maine and his associates to present
the propositions which they have to ad-
vance in some such style as this: Twen-
ty-five years ago the Republicans were
right and the Democrats were wrong.
Therefore the man who fails now to
support the men who chance to call
themselves Republicans must be wrong.
If there is any thing reasonable in this
position with how much greater force,
according to Mr.. Blaine's own show
ing, may the Democrats assert that in
the beginning of the century their
party was right and its opponents
wrong, and that, as consequence,
every body that has opposed them
since must have been wrong.
The advantages derived by the
Louisiana purchase are widely recog-
nized now, and have been for years,
but at the time that it was made Mr..
Jefferson and his party were attacked
by their adversaries with the utmost
violence, and besides other things were
called Hck-spittles for the French, cats
paws for the red revolutionists and as
sociates of infidels and murderers.
Probably no important move on the
part of an American Administration
was more vicious!y attacked than the
Louisiana purchase, but the wise man
who engineered that transaction and
the party which supported him in it
foresaw the benefit to be derived from
it, and persisted in their policy in spite
of obloquy and Misrepresentation

WHAT BLAINE THINKS.

The Great Work Accomplished by the
Founder Of the Democracy in the Louis.
lana Purchase Then and Now.
In his graceful speech before the
Merchants Exchange, of St. Louis,
James G. Blaine went so far as to de-
clare that, next to Washington, Thomas
Jefferson should stand highest in the
estimation of American citizens. THE
watchful care, the great nerve and
courage, the statesmanlike grasp of
Thomas Jefferson, standing between
the policy of France and the aggres-
sive energy of Great Britain, plucked
the whole territory of Louisiana from
the ambition of both and made it an
American State, and that vast domain
for which Jefferson gave $15, 900, 900 is
now represented in seven great and
prosperous States and three Territories,
which, in the course of time, will add
four or five States, possibly, to the
American Union. Never was a con-
quest SO great, SO extensive, acquired
by peaceful methods. Never was so
great a conquest made by war that q
conquering power was able to hold"
This utterance was made at time
when Mr.. Blaine was not considering
political questions, and it may be set
down as representing his candid opin.

Two passengers on the train became
involved in a very heated controversy,
which finally waxed SO hot that one of

ARTIFICIAL SOCIETY.
A Crowd of Egotistical Men and Womer
Devoid of Real Intellect.

A Crowd of Egotistical Men and Women
Devoid of Real Intellect.
A correspondent who has been OBJ
serving society in Washington, sets it
down as ga very conglomerate affair,
with none IF the heart of hospitality
in it." The people being literally "here
to-day and gone tomorrow go
through the hollow forms of calls and
receptions with little more than pro-
fession of kindliness, as matter of
business. You will, for instance, be
invited to call upon some person on her
reception day. She stands in line
with those who receive with her, some
of them stupidity self-conscious, or inn
pudeEtly Indifferent. You say "good-
morning. at coming and going, al
though it is well along toward evening.
Some of the ladies have no waists-worth
mentioning their dresses, and no
tact whatever in their manner. You
are invited to take chocolate, which
you do as solemnly as if it were hem
lock tea. You sigh for some bright
spirited man or woman with whom to
exchange an idea, but you.sigh in vain.
You see bare necks suggestive of pneu-
monia, gorgeous dresses, gigantic false
teeth and smiles equally artificial.
There is the slightest perceptible jolt
in the social wheels when a man or
woman of high position dies, but the
jar is hardly discernible, and the car of
juggernaut moves on. People at the
bottom of the social ladder are strain
ing and agonizing to get to the top.
Those at the top are often eying each
other with envy and suspicion. The
press has held up to ridicule and well
deserved contempt the impudent and
ill-mannered people who attended the
Chinese ball, unlimited, and who dis
;graced themselves and their country as
much by going as they did by their raid
upon the dining-room. You have seen
animals feed out of trough? Well
but no matter. Who were these peo-
pie? They are persons who aspire to
be reckoned of the ''upper crust" in
the society in the ''court circle" Of
America Youths Companion.

He Goes Too Far.

Senator Edmunds goes quite beyond
his prerogative when he assumes to
speak for the Republicans who voted
for Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 and says
that "as between two evils" they would
vote for him again. They would vote
for him again, certainly, as against Mr..
Blaine or any other unworthy Repub-
ican, but not at all in the spirit of
men making choice of evils. Mr.. Ed
munds should remember that while it
is understood that he quite agreed with
the Mugwumps in their estimate of the
Republican candidate in 1884, his fail.
ure to exercise the right of private
judgment at the polls deprives him of
the privilege of becoming the spokes-
man Of those men of equal honesty and
greater courage who voted for Mr..
Cleveland.-N. Y Times.

RoueHlNe IT OUT WEST.
Sad Story Of q Faithful wife Who Tried
Life ON the Plains.

Life ON the Plains.
After telling of young couple
brought up to luxury who thought they
would rough-it ON the plains, corre-
spondent thus continues his story:
ITO the reader who has been accus-
toned to dwelling in populous sections,
no adequate idea of the utter loneliness
of residence in the Far West can be
formed. The disconsolate wife, unable
to obtain assistance in her hour of need,
now remained faithfully watching by
the bedside of the dying man, who ap-
pcared to entertain peculiar dread Of
being buried alive. Promise me, he
said to his wife some hours before his
death. that you will not see me buried
for at least four days after havo
breathed my last;' to which request the
poor woman tearfully assented. All
through the day and during the earlier
portion of the night the woman sat
alone with her dead, while without, and
as though already scenting their prey,
pack of hungry coyotes circled about
the isolated abode, ever and anon Civ
ing vent to their peculiar and blood
curdling cries. thine o'clock small
party of miners, including our guides,
Wood and Armstrong, called on the
way TO Cheyenne.
1.-The sad story was soon told and
early on the following morning one of
the party was sent to Horse Creek for
the purpose of obtaining the material
for coffin. During all this time the
widow sat by the bedside of her dead
husband, at times scrutinizing the fea-
lures of the latter and momentar ly
starting up as if she fancied she de-
tected signs of returning animation.
Kit Armstrong, from whom received
whatever information is here afforded
concerning this sad episode, together
with his companion, Wood, remained
during the four days following the
death of the man as described. On the
last night of their vigil the woman,
worn out from constant watching, con-
sented to take some rest while toward
morning both of the watchers also fell
asleep.
'tIt is not known at what hour the
supposed corpse became again animated
with life, but it was found upon inves-
tigation that the body had at some
time during the night partially turned
in the coffin in which it had been
placed, although the features still bore
the same placid expression they had
worn the day previous. The discovery
of this dreadful circumstance proved
| too much for the afflicted wife, who en-
tirely lost her reason and who thence
forth roamed about in the vicinity of
! her late home, being generously af-
forded shelter by those who had pur-
chased the ranch, and superstitiously
avoided by Indians, who regarded her
with awe.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.
